This glossy comedy drama from writer/director Paul Weitz (About a Boy) is an entertaining foray into the world of male relationships. In the aftermath of a company takeover, young hotshot Carter Duryea (Topher Grace) takes the job and the office of likeable, seasoned boss Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid). As the displaced executive, Quaid manages to look both tough and tender — he's equally concerned for the future of his daughter Alex (Scarlett Johansson) as he is for his fellow workers. These professional and personal lives collide when Carter and Alex begin seeing each other, threatening to destroy the men's already unsteady alliance. Weitz's tale could have been a cold, cutting display of the value of youth over experience, but he plays it warm and cuddly instead. Although that means there's a whiff of inevitability about it all, the fine cast still offer up plenty of surprises.

Not very good.
Well, I was judgmental and to be honest I didn't think it was very good. The humour was old (been done so many times before in similar films), the script is bad and the acting is not exactly great. The crappest bit is when Dennis Quaid falls over playing tennis, it is the worst simulated fall I have ever seen.
If you can't think of anything else to put on your selection, go for it, but it's definitely not worth going to see at a cinema -
